Divine Martial Saint

In truth, the Maple City's City Lord had always been a person who was unwilling to surrender.

After all, he was the mayor after beating a child. It was impossible for him to submit to others under such circumstances.

He was clear about the meaning behind Shi Hao's words, it was just that he could not do so.

In fact, the mayor had already made up his mind from the beginning. If he didn't want to do it then, he would risk his life.

However, what Shi Hao could not understand was why this City Master did not think of any other method.

No matter what, it was impossible to reach the point where there was no way out. Since he had decided to fight to the death, why not raise his guard?

The entire city was on guard, but the military forces had been in a lazy state all this time.

"Mayor, since it's like this, I think we should prepare for battle and not wait for the enemy's attack with this kind of negative attitude."

"I believe you also know that in this situation, if you want to obtain some chances of survival, you must be very active."

"If we are always this passive, then if the enemy really attacks nature, how will we fight?"

What Shi Hao could not understand the most was why the City Lord had decided to go all out in this battle, and why he had been so passive about it.

Although the Maple City's forces were not as strong as the bandits, if the mayor could organize his troops and go out of the city to fight, he would immediately give the criminals a good beating.

Maybe the criminals would not be willing to see the Maple City at all in this situation.

"There are some things that you don't understand. Forget it, you should go back. Today's conversation ends here."

The City Lord initially thought that Shi Hao was a person who was easy to talk to, but he never expected that he would have this kind of attitude from the very beginning.

To the City Lord, he felt that there was too much of a difference between his and Shi Hao's views.

Adding to the fact that Shi Hao was a brat, the only reason he was willing to communicate with him was because Shi Hao's status was not bad.

After the exchange, he realised that he was just overthinking it and that there was no need to communicate at all.

"If that's the case, then I will take my leave. If there's anything you need from me, please do not hesitate to tell me."

"However, at the same time, I hope that the mayor can consider them as much as possible. You must know, they are the foundation for your survival."

"The Mayor's position is gone, but it doesn't matter too much, as long as he doesn't waver."

"However, if you are shaken to the core, even if you are able to preserve the life of the City Lord and the position of the City Lord, what does it matter?"

"Alright, City Lord, farewell!"

Shi Hao also felt that there was no longer any need for him to interact at all.

At the beginning, Shi Hao only came here because he thought of the Affiliated Cities he belonged to. If he encountered a similar situation one day, then he would very likely be left without any help.

The other problem was because of Xie Lin. Since they had not found Xie Lin's whereabouts, it was very likely that Xie Lin had been killed long ago.

Shi Hao realized that the only thing he had gained from coming to this place was Li Tao's loyalty to him.

However, this did not matter much to Shi Hao, as the reason why he did all these was not because he wanted to obtain some form of repayment.

After Shi Hao walked out of the hall, he started strolling around the walls of the Maple City.

Although the City Lord and the others had no intention to fight, Shi Hao felt that as long as they did not reach the final step, they still had a chance to win.

Because at this time, it was very possible that the Blood Underworld Sect had already found out about this. As long as the Blood Underworld Sect could send more people over, they would have a chance.

After Shi Hao circled around the walls of the Maple City, he had a rough understanding of the terrain of the entire Maple City, and then returned to his own room.

When Shi Hao returned, several hours had already passed, and the Li Tao at this time had clearly become much better.

Perhaps because the medicinal effect that Shi Hao gave was especially good, Li Tao was actually able to walk on the ground.

Seeing Shi Hao coming back, Li Tao quickly got up to greet him, and even bowed and knelt down to him.

"Master, you're back. Did something happen today?"

At that time, Li Tao would no longer need to doubt his loyalty to Shi Hao.

This was because Shi Hao could tell the attitude Li Tao had towards him from his expression.

"Li Tao, you don't need to be like this. Since you are willing to believe me and accept me as your master, I am not that sort of harsh person."

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Hurry up and rest, we'll talk about it after you've recovered from your injuries."

Shi Hao was not the type of person to be overly concerned with the conduct of a servant, so he did not need Li Tao to bow to him.

As long as Li Tao would be of use to him in the future, the rest weren't really that important.

"How about this, you take advantage of these few days to heal up properly. Maple City might not be able to stay quiet for more than a few days."

Shi Hao knew that even if those bandits had patience, they would not wait too long. They would probably attack the Maple City very soon.

The master of the Maple City was at the second level of Energy Dispersing Stage, but Shi Hao was not clear about the others in the Maple City, but it was likely that they were not able to reach the Energy Dispersing Stage either.

This was because an expert of Energy Dispersing Stage would definitely pay a very large price in this kind of Affiliated Cities, in order to successfully advance.

Even for the Affiliated Cities s who were ranked higher, a single Affiliated Cities would only have one or two Energy Dispersing Stage experts.

Although the Maple City was not one of the last few, he was not one of the top few either.

Therefore, Shi Hao believed that in this kind of city, the most one would at most be an expert with Energy Dispersing Stage.

Since the master of the Maple City was at the second level of Energy Dispersing Stage, then the others definitely could not be from the Energy Dispersing Stage.

And the group of bandits outside, just the ones Shi Hao had met, were already more than ten people at the first level of Energy Dispersing Stage.

That was, you know, the whole gang, and all they met after that were the people who set them up on the road.

The entire gang would never use all of their experts to ambush on the only path that Maple City could take.

In other words, amongst this group of criminals, the number of experts in Energy Dispersing Stage was definitely more than what Shi Hao knew.

In this kind of situation, the only one with Energy Dispersing Stage was the mayor. No matter how strong the others were, they were merely at Energy Accumulation Stage.

In such a situation where there was such a huge disparity in strength between the two of us, if the criminals really did attack, the Maple City would not be able to do it.

If Yan Song and the others did not leave, perhaps they could defend against the enemy's attacks.

After all, the Maple City still had the advantage of a city wall. As long as everyone could stand on top of the city wall, they could still fight one against ten.

But at this time, Yan Song had already brought a group of people and left early, causing the Maple City to become an empty shell.

It was impossible for the city lord to block the attack of these bandits.

At the same time, with Shi Hao's strength alone, it was impossible to salvage the battle.

At this time, Shi Hao was only trying his best to delay the time for the Maple City.

If this battle had come to the end, then there was still a way out.

After all, he still had a Condor, if he was really surrounded and attacked by the enemies, under all four directions, Shi Hao would have no choice but to take care of himself.

Therefore, towards the City Lord's side, if the City Lord does not actively prepare for battle, then Shi Hao would just leave.

Before this battle, Shi Hao had hoped for Li Tao to be able to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. During this battle, he should not drag himself down.

He had finally gotten himself a loyal servant, but if he lost in this battle for nothing, that would not be good.

Shi Hao had only accepted two servants, and according to his estimations, Xie Lin should already be dead. If Li Tao also lost his life in this place, then Shi Hao would only be a single commander in chief in the future.

"Thank you for master's concern, but I already feel much better today. I really don't know what kind of elixir master gave me to recover so quickly."

"I've never seen anything so effective. Even if it was a light injury in the past, it would still require me to lie down for a few days."

"I know what I've been through this time. In my opinion, it won't take another ten days or half a month for me to recover."

In truth, Li Tao was feeling extremely weird in his heart. He was wondering what kind of miracle medicine Shi Hao had given him.

This was because he had never encountered such a medicinal liquid that could allow him to walk on the ground within a day.

One had to know that he had previously injured his internal organs, and it was said that he had been injured for a hundred days. How could it be possible if he hadn't been lying down for a month?

Thus, he felt as if he was dreaming about the changes that had occurred to him.

"You don't need to think about this. Since you've followed me, you will definitely not be harmed. Naturally, I will give you the best medicine."

"You don't care what he is, as long as he can cure your injuries."

"I know that time is of the essence at this time. If you lie down for one more day, you will be in danger."

"You just woke up, you don't even know how powerful the criminals are."

"We are now in the Maple City, the bandits have already surrounded this place, inside and outside three layers."

"For example, in this place right now, even if it were to grow wings, it would be hard to fly."

"If I say that there is still a chance of survival in this place, then we will have to see whether Blood Underworld Sect will send more reinforcements or not."

"If it's just relying on the people from the Maple City, even if I risk my life, I still won't be able to escape from the bandits."
